Sensory evaluation
Sensory evaluation, or Descriptive Sensory
Analysis, is a strong selection of methods
for describing products and differences
between products.
The main idea in sensory evaluation is to,
as objectively as possible, measure product
characteristics using human assessors
on a range of relevant attributes. Sensory
evaluation may also include consumer data
to further explore factors driving product
preference.
